Vulnerabilities found in Google’s Indoor Nest camera: Report

A research group discovered eight vulnerabilities in Google's Nest Cameras. These include CVE-2019-5043, which causes system crashes through TCP connections, and another bug that exposes sensitive information. Two vulnerabilities, CVE-2019-5038 and CVE-2019-5039, exploit the Weave network, allowing malicious commands. Another bug potentially grants attackers control over the devices.

What was the impact of the CVE-2019-5043 vulnerability on Google's Nest Cameras?

• It disabled the camera's night vision.

• It enabled remote control of the camera.

• It caused the camera system to crash.

• It allowed unauthorized access to video feeds.

How could attackers exploit the vulnerabilities CVE-2019-5038 and CVE-2019-5039?

• By physically tampering with the camera.

• By sending a virus through email.

• By hacking into the camera's firmware.

• By luring users to open a malicious command on Google's Weave network.

What type of information could attackers access due to one of the vulnerabilities?

• User's browsing history.

• Sensitive information from the cameras.

• Camera's battery status.

• Camera's location data.

What is the function of Google's Weave network in relation to Nest Cameras?
